change

One thing that has happened previously in my life that I would like to change is my dad getting kicked out of the house. My mom made him leave because he did not get a job among other things. When he left I was around seven or something close to that. When he told me that he was leaving I did not belive him but when he did leave I knew he was serious. When he left I did not cry or anything it was just like a normal day thogh I still wanted him to stay. I still went to see him at his house and stay the night. Recently I have not seen him or talked to him mainly because I do not want to but unfotunetly yesterday he called to let me know that he was going to jail again. He wanted me and my brother to go to dinner with him and his dad our grandfather before he left. I did not want to go but I did anyways it was unenjoyable so I was glad when we got back home. Now that I think about it I do not want to change the fact that he left. I just want to know what it would have been like if he did not. I do not know. Maybe it was for the better that he left.

value

One thing that I value the most is my family. I value my family the most for many reasons. A lot of people take their families for granted or do not think much of them which is not good. I think that if I could only have one thing in life it would be a family. They take care of you when your sick, help you with things like school, support you when you need it, and many other things. I have a decent size family most of which I see at pretty often since we are close. Although I argue with my family often I still love them and they still love me. I know that some people do not have good relationships with certain members of their familes but I think it is always worth it to try to fix things with them because if problems are not fixed then you might regret not fixing them in the future.

Summer

This summer the Cleveland clinic had a picnic for employees in Avon Lake. I did not want to go though my mom wanted me to so I went along with me went my sister and brother. There were things there to do and things to eat. One of the things there to do was watch a guy named jungle terry. He showed various types of animals like snakes, lizards, turtles, and a skunk. My sister wanted to watch so we decided to watch him for a little bit. When jungle terry was showing a turtle to the crowd of people the turtle decided to pee on one of the kids head. My mom and I were laughing when it happened dut jungle terry said "Its just water". After that we went and got in line for hay rides they had that were pulled by horses. Once it was our turn we got in and they closed the gate on the back of the wagon. Just as we the wagon was about to go two old ladies waked past everyone in line and asked if there was room for two more. Without waiting for a response they got in. No one said anything to them and the wagon started moving. I do not know why but for about the whole ride one of the old ladies kept staring at me. When the ride was over one old lady said to the other not to make eye contact with the people in line. A little while after that we went home since there was nothing else to do and we had been there for hours.

Quintin

My name in my opinion is unique. Not necessarily by how it is pronounced but by how it is spelled. It is usually spelled with an e but I spell it with an i. I have met/heard of a ton of people who have the same name but none of them had the same spelling. I like that because that is what makes my name different. I asked my mom why she named me Quintin. She said that she named me after the actor/director Quentin Tarantino. She said around the time I was born he was getting big and she said she just liked the name.

number one rule

I think that the number one rule in life is to listen to other people when they are tallking. I think this for a few different reasons. The first reason is that if people do not listen to each other problems would never get solved successfully. My second reason is when I am talking to someone and they appear to not be listening I think they do not care about what I have to say and it is not a good feeling to think someone does not care what you have to say. My third and final reason is if no one ever listened to each other how would we learn. People in schools would not be able to learn because the students would not listen to the teacher and the teacher would not listen to the students. That is why I think listening to each other is the most important rule.
